About this property

On the water with Dock & Great Location

Great cabin located directly on Tims Ford Lake. Cabin has been updated and includes nice, well stocked kitchen as well as a deck (with grill). Enjoy our dock - fish, swim and use our two kayaks, paddle board and a canoe. Plenty of space to tie your boat up to our dock in a mostly private cove. Please read the guest access section for more details on lake access.

Cabin is two stories. One bedroom with queen bed down and another bedroom upstairs with two twins and one double. Kitchen, bath, nice den with sofa (not a sleeper) and dining area and a nice deck with table and chairs and a gas grill. Stack washer and dryer in home. Kitchen has side by side refrigerator w/Ice & water, dishwasher, and range. Please note - The fireplace is electric.

Tims Ford is known for its small mouth bass fishing. Good fishing from our dock as well (bring your own poles and gear).

You will have dock access to use our dock with a covered boat slip. Besides the slip, there is plenty of room to tie up a second boat or Jet Ski. The dock has an open deck area (about 18' x 8') for sunning, fishing and hanging out. There is also two covered areas (about 4' x 20 each'). We have a table, chairs (8) and umbrella for your use. Great swimming off the dock (there is a ladder) . From the cabin, the view of the lake is blocked by tree's in the summer but pretty open in the winter.

NOTE - Our dock is down a relatively steep hill with a paved path (first 100 yards or so) and then less steep mulched path (about 50 yards or so). There are no steps.

You are welcome to use our two kayaks, canoe and paddle board (paddles supplied but please bring your own life jackets - WE DO NOT PROVIDE LIFE JACKETS - Life jackets are a TN state law and are required to use our canoe, kayaks or paddle board). There is a public boat ramp about 5 minutes away if you bring your boat.

From the cabin, the view of the lake is blocked by tree's in the summer but pretty open in the winter.

Our home is conveniently located 10 minutes from Winchester, TN. Winchester offers grocery stores and a Walmart, along with several restaurant choices. We are close to Jack Daniels Distillery, Tims Ford Sate Park Golf, the Caverns , hiking and many other attractions.

We have WIFI and YouTube TV. There is a 32" TV and a DVD player that you can hook up to for movies. We do have some games.

On the Lake

We enjoyed our stay. Place was comfortable and had everything we needed- though we spent very little time in the house, because…The dock was fantastic- swimming and boating all day from a private dock that is just a short walk from the house! We loved being able to maximize our family fun time on the water!

Woodsy cabin and beautiful getaway

We had an amazing stay, and would recommend this to anyone looking for a little getaway. We fished from the dock, grilled dinner on the back deck while the some rain storms rolled through. If you have a boat with you, the dock is clean and well kept.

Check in was super easy, the property was clean and the owner was awesome! My son even left a stuffed animal and they shipped it back! The location is amazing and the hike down to the dock was steep like mentioned but for me and my sons, it wasn’t too bad like some made it out to be. The cove was amazing and I really liked how everything had a place. We will definitely recommend coming here and will stay again in the future!

Everything was as described. House was perfect for a weekend get-a-way. The only negative thing I can say is if you have any mobility issues the walk up and down to the boat dock is EXTREMLY steep. I am still recovering from both knee and hip replacements so it was difficult to do several times a day. Other than that it was a wonderful stay and we were very pleased with everything. The owner was quick to answer all questions and very easy to communicate with!

Relaxing and entertaining.

It was too chilly for us to fish. It would be a great summertime getaway. Lots of games and internet if you are stranded inside. We had a very relaxing weekend. The cabin was very well laid out with a cute kids loft.

Great place to stay

The house was just the right size for our family. We have 3 young kids ages 7,7,9. They loved being able to have their own space upstairs. We took our dog with us & it was the perfect place for him to be able to have some freedom to explore. The dock was private with great swimming. It also had a nice spot for catching bluegill. It had the feel of being remote but close enough to town for a Walmart run or a DoorDash dinner delivery. We really enjoyed our vacation here.

pleasant stay

I was a nice cozy cabin with everything we needed. The water access was much steeper than I expected. It was nice that it was partly paved and then mulched the rest of the way, but the climb back up the drive was rough. More pictures of this would be helpful to others (the reason for my 4 stars). Instead of the dock area, I enjoyed the back porch and the view while my guys were out for the day. Beautiful and quiet neighborhood.

Peaceful getaway!

Had a wonderful stay at this property! The cabin is simple but clean and has the things needed to make the stay as enjoyable as possible! It's a steep walk to the dock, but once there, there are toys (paddle board, canoe, 2 kayaks) and a nice covered slip for a boat. The dock is wide enough to fish, swim or tie up another boat if desired. The cove is quiet and clean with only a few other docks inside. Lots of birds to watch and other wildlife to see. Absolutely loved everything about this property!

Weekend event

Stayed at cabin for weekend event in Belvidere. All the conveniences of home plus a nice dock with a few toys. Great quiet location. Didn’t get to fish as much as we had hoped, but the owners binder had information for everything around town, food, groceries, entertainment, and even a lake/fishing map. Owner definitely took time to set up property well for guests, even labeling switches and printing signs for various objects/tasks. Would definitely stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Andy Saul

Host profile image
Laura and I purchased the cabin when our kids were two and four. We outgrew it a few years ago and built a larger home on the lake in the same neighborhood. We used the cabin as a guest house until 2018 when we decided to share this great experience on Tims Ford lake with others. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Our guests say we have thought of everything.

What makes this property unique

Great little cabin in the woods, directly on Tims Ford lake in a very private cove. Enjoy the use of our two kayaks, canoe and paddle board. We supply the paddles, but please bring your own life jackets if you plan to do lake activities. Wearing life jackets is the law when boating on the lake. Bring your fishing gear and fish from the dock, canoe or your boat. Our neighborhood has a boat ramp and locked parking lot to store your trailer. You will have access to our dock to fish, sun and hang out.
